Canada West Mission is in need of adult volunteers to be on staff at CWM Youth Camp (July 1 – 6) and Junior Camp (July 14-18). If we do not have sufficient staff, we will need to turn campers away. Junior Camp has reached capacity for boy’s registration and we now have a waiting list.

I would ask you to give serious consideration to this need. CWM camping programs are an important part of our ministry and they are flourishing. The majority of the youth we see at camp do not attend church on Sunday mornings but they come to camp and bring friends with them.

Camp Mungai, Junior Camp ages 8-11 years old, is looking for counselors for August 12-16 this summer, especially male counselors. If you are a registered youth worker, love kids, and want to spend more time in paradise (Samish Island) please contact Christine Campbell,samishbird@gmail.com.

I, Debra Donohue, was a counselor at Camp Mungai last year and it was one of the highlights of my summer.

Thanks for supporting our camping program!

Camp Mungai is also looking for a cook this year, could it be you? Contact Christine Campbell, samishbird@gmail.com

Community of Christ Canada (Canada East Mission and Canada West Mission) has contracted with CampSite, a camping and events management platform, in order to provide members and friends with a more modern online registration process for camps, retreats, and events.

This new platform will allow you to create a user account which will securely store your information and allow you to register for events by simply logging in and selecting which event you want to attend.

CampSite maintains two separate secure databases for registration – one for youth and another for adults/families. You will need to create two separate user accounts for each database (we strongly recommend you use the same e-mail address and password for both). We have prepared a User Manual [attached] to assist you with setting up your account(s). Please follow the appropriate links below to get started.

Two elearning Temple School Ministry and Priesthood classes will open for registration May 16 (limited space):

· Ministry of the Priest - Temple School MP304

o Starts June 16 - ends August 10

· Ministry of the Elder - Temple School MP305

o Starts June 16 - ends August 10

These elearning classes last 8-weeks during which students proceed together through readings, videos, and quizzes. Students may access each week's class 24-hours a day, 6-days a week (minus one day for grading) providing flexibility in class schedules.

Have you been looking for a comfortable way to introduce your friends to Community of Christ?

At the BC Friends and Family weekend you’ll be able to share the beauty of Samish Island, introduce our community of great people, and your friends can experience a casual, contemporary worship service on Sunday.

To those seeking a spiritual home, Community of Christ is a welcoming, loving, worldwide faith community that values the worth of every person as a child of God, and provides a safe space for you to explore and deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ and each other.

In Community of Christ, you will receive love and support as you discover renewed purpose for your life through compassionate, Christ-like service that ends suffering and fosters justice and peace.
